Markov and Hidden Markov Models in R

This course introduces Markov and latent-state models for longitudinal observations. Participants learn model specification, estimation and interpretation, including covariate extensions and responses that are continuous, categorical or incomplete. Worked examples and exercises use the LMest package in R and connect the statistical assumptions with applied research questions. It is designed for academic and industry participants with little prior probability training; basic R familiarity is helpful. The four online sessions run 14:00–17:00 Berlin local time. The listed package fee is €420.
